Korver Sindelar shares his winning presentation with Our Saviors Luthran Church on June 8th – click here to watch and listen to the presentation.
We’re proud to share that Korver Sindelar, a 7th grader at Harding Middle School, took 1st place locally in this year’s National History Day competition! The theme was Rights and Responsibilities; Korver chose to explore the legacy of Martin Luther and the Protestant Reformation.
His project focused on Martin Luther’s rights and responsibilities as a reformer—how he challenged the church of his time, stood firm in his convictions, and helped spark lasting change in both religious and civic life. As part of his presentation, Korver built a model church and dove into deep study. He interviewed Pastor Bunny, explored the meaning of Martin Luther’s solas (three key teachings of the Reformation):
– that we are saved by grace alone, through faith alone
– ,revealed in scripture alone—not by anything we can earn or buy—
– and made use of the Book of Concord to better understand the foundation of Lutheran belief and responsibility.
In April, he advanced to the State competition, where his family and Pastor Bunny had the joy of cheering him on and watching him beam with pride. We’re already looking ahead to next year’s project and the possibility of going even further!
Thank you for your prayers and kind words—they have been deeply felt and appreciated.
Korver will be sharing his project with the congregation after worship on Sunday, June 8, in the sanctuary. All are welcome to hear his presentation and celebrate with him!
With gratitude,
Rachel and Korver Sindelar
